Episode 71: Carol & Matthew Newell on their new book "Healing Your Child's Brain"

Carol, Matthew and I talk about tools and educational materials that they have created to help individuals learn about their brain, how it works and how to implement strategies that may help individuals create space for learning and healing.  I found their perspective and approach very interesting and wanted to share their information for those of you that might want to investigate further.  They have lots of free resources on their site and  other social media. Would love to hear your thoughts as well! About the book:In Healing Your Child’s Brain, child development experts Matthew and Carol Newellequip parents with the knowledge, confidence, and tools they need to help their special-needs child flourish.
